Dancers’ Career Development join the dance community in expressing our deep sorrow at the news of the death of Caroline Miller OBE, CEO at Birmingham Royal Ballet.

 

16th December 2024

Our sincere thoughts and support go out to Caroline’s family, friends and colleagues.

Through her role at BRB, one of DCD’s Partner Companies, we had the privilege of working closely with Caroline – a leader with the most incredible amounts of passion, vision and joy. Throughout our team we fondly remember the impact she made both at BRB and across the dance sector through her previous roles.

Charles Glanville, Chair of Dancers’ Career Development, said: “Dancers’ Career Development and Birmingham Royal Ballet are close partners, working together to support BRB’s dancers. We are so sorry to hear that our good friend at BRB, Caroline Miller OBE, has passed away.  Caroline was such a live wire, as well as incredibly good at her job. She will very much be missed.”

Vanessa Lefrancois, Executive Director of DCD said “I first met Caroline when she led Dance UK. I was struck immediately by her incredible energy and passion for dance, which radiated from her and was a driving force behind her multiple accomplishments. Her vision, boldness and tenacity in her role at BRB introduced ballet to new audiences from Glastonbury Festival to Black Sabbath fans. Caroline was a great advocate for the sector, dancers and DCD. We are deeply saddened by Caroline’s passing; dance has lost a true friend, champion and trailblazer – she will be missed by all at DCD.”
